After crossing the Yangtze River, they entered the territory of Hunan. The road was full of refugees, but there were few strong men, all of them were women, children, old and disabled, military horses shuttled through the crowd, and sometimes people were knocked down but no one paid attention.

Qi Liang went against the current and went south while begging, but how could he get something to eat all the way down? He was so hungry that he pulled the grass on the edge of the paddy field and took two bites.

A few more military horses drove behind, and immediately the military master whipped the refugees on the side of the road with a whip, shouting: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! The army of the court is coming! ”

The crowd panicked and jumped off the post road, and some of them were whipped and didn't dare to squeak, so they could only consider themselves unlucky. An old woman with weak legs and feet, slow moving, was knocked to the ground by a big horse, and immediately the military master stopped and whipped it, and when he saw no movement, he swung away again.

The road was empty, and soon there was a rush and scattered footsteps from the north, and a large group of clear soldiers appeared in front of them, with yellow flags in front and cavalry in the back, and green flags in the back, mostly infantry. The refugees all hung their heads with their backs to the road, and Qi Liang also hid in them, squatting on a hard field, holding his head, and beating wildly.

After the army, they came and dragged on for a long time, and some of the Qing soldiers whipped the servants with their whips, like animals without thinking, and some of the Qing soldiers looked around on the road, and when they found that they were strong, they dragged them out to be servants.

"Who's that! You come out, come and push the carriage! A fanged soldier shouted as he pointed at one of the people in the crowd.

Many people look back, but they don't know who he is referring to. "That's you! What to watch? It's you! Come out, don't come out again, Lao Tzu will pump you! The Stormtooth ran over and whipped his whip.

One of the women and children stood up blankly, and said timidly: "Master soldier! Are you called a slave? ”

The Tyrant Tooth Soldier was stunned for a long time, how could she be a woman? The other soldiers burst into laughter: "Tyrannical Tooth Boy! Damn you, haven't you ever played with women and can't even tell the difference between men and women? ”

The fang-stricken pawn was ashamed and angry, pointed at the cowardly and trembling woman, and scolded: "Damn! What are you doing like a man? Squat down for Lao Tzu! There was also someone in the crowd who laughed, and he was so angry that he shouted, "See which of you dares to laugh?" Turning around and kicking a butt next to his feet, the man cried out "sigh" and fell into the field and made a dog shit.

Surprise with a bruised teeth: "Grandma's! I didn't think there was a gentleman here! Waving his whip, he said, "Hurry up and tow the carriage for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Master Jun! The little ...... "I don't want to, that person is Qi Liang, his face is like ashes, this is miserable."

The fang-stricken pawn couldn't tell the difference: "Why don't you go soon?" Qi Liang had already whipped him, and several soldiers surrounded him.

Qi Liang had no choice but to join the group of servants, and along the way, many innocent refugees were forced into it, but many of them were old men with white beards and white hair.

After a day of whipping and kicking, all the people were exhausted, and when they stopped at night, they all crawled still. After drinking a bowl of gruel as light as clear water, Qi Liang looked around to see if there was any possibility of escape? Seeing that the servants were divided into several points and gathered together, surrounded by various supplies, and there were Qing soldiers patrolling non-stop outside, he desperately dismissed the idea of escaping.

In the dark night, Qi Liang consciously inquired about the news, but on the surface, he pretended to be in pain and sighed and said, "Alas! When is this a head? ”

An old voice said, "With the army, do you still expect to go back alive?" I'm going to leave this old bone in the middle of nowhere to feed the wild dogs! Obviously, when I think of my separated relatives, I am already in tears.

The rest of the people wept when they heard this, "It's you, who are young and have a lot of years to live, but you are also throwing your corpse into the wilderness like me and other old people, it's a pity!" The old man wiped a handful of tears, and actually took pity on Qi Liang.

"Why are you crying? What's there to be sad about? The soldiers who were charging in front of them didn't cry, why are you crying? A man of Qi Liang's age shouted, "Tell you, we don't die so easily!" Maybe you can get some rewards for your achievements and return home with glory! "It's obvious that this is a military fan.

"Why does this brother think so?" Qi Liang asked with interest.

"Presumptuous! How dare you call me that! The man glared and scolded.

"This is the chief of ten people waiting for me!" Someone pulled Qi Liang's clothes to remind.

In the dark, Qi Liang couldn't see the surface of the other party, and just asked funny: "Master Shi!" I'm stupid, and please tell me to wait! ”

The man was very satisfied with the cry of "My lord", and said, "Do you know which army we belong to? ”

Someone asked: "Which troops?" ”

The man was proud: "Tell you!" The yellow flag of the Eight Banners of Naimeng is led by Dutong Jue Luo Belle Zhu Man! Xian Peng asked again: "Do you know about Mengbaqi?" ”

Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know!" ”

The man said: "That's an elite division, not inferior to the Manchu Eight Banners, their hundred-man cavalry can defeat a Han army of more than 2,000 people!" Do you know the invincible Genghis Khan who swept the world? It's his children and grandchildren! As if he was also an ancient Mongolian narrating the glory of his family, he laughed twice and said, "Think about it, how can we die so easily with such an army?" Let's wait for the meritorious service and get rich! ”

Everyone was surprised and relieved, but Qi Liang asked disappreciatively: "Why didn't you see the Mongolian cavalry?" ”

The man glanced at him and said, "You know!" The cavalry had already gone to the front line to fight, and you think they would still shrink behind and crawl slowly like snails like us? ”

Qi Liang nodded cowardly, looking humbly taught. The man suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know? I heard that two months ago, when Zhu Manbeile led his troops south, he caught a few Wu thieves in Inner Mongolia, and he was still the personal guard of the prince Wu Dogxiong! ”

Qi Liang was surprised, happy and worried, he didn't want to meet him that day with this Zhu Man's army, that day after a hard run and a big circle or fell into his hands, he knew that it was better to be caught directly by him that day, and there would be a lot of suffering.

Qi Liang wants to know who was captured and what is the fate now? But he didn't dare to ask, so he endured it and continued to flatter: "What is the eldest man!" Where are we going? ”

The man said in a deep voice: "What do you want to know about such military secrets?" Then he said: "I heard that I was going to Yuezhou for reinforcements, but Changsha has been captured by Wu thieves!" ”

Qi Liang was surprised, and before he could ask again, a loud shout came: "Do you want to die?" If there is a speaker, kill him! The fang-stricken pawn whipped in the grass, and more than half of the flowers and plants were neatly cut off.

Everyone was silent, and the man was even more shocked. Speechless all night, Qi Liang looked at the sky and thought about his thoughts, and fell asleep in a daze.

Early in the morning, Qi Liang was awakened by a kick, and someone shouted: "Get up!" Get up! It's on its way! It's on its way! ”

Everyone was in a hurry, disorganized, and the sound of people and horses was in a commotion, and it was only under the whip of the soldiers that order was gradually restored, and they set off in a hurry.

In the evening, the baggage team had walked for a day and had not yet come out of fifty miles, and before the wagons and carts had been unloaded, many soldiers and horses suddenly came from the south, pouring in like a tide, and someone shouted: "Withdraw quickly!" Evacuate! Yuezhou is lost! There were many ordinary people behind him, and the scene became chaotic.

This was a golden opportunity, Qi Liang picked up an angular strip of stone on the ground and poked it vigorously at the horse's buttocks, and the horse jumped and dragged the carriage around, bringing down many people and objects.

Qi Liang poked the horse one after another, the scene became more and more chaotic, people turned on their backs, horses neighed, like a honeycomb that exploded the nest, and the toothless pawn was also taken a few steps by a carriage, Qi Liang was annoyed that he kicked his ass yesterday, and took the opportunity to kick his ass, and also made him eat shit, and then turned around and ran, shouting while running: "Run!" Wu thief called! Run! Wu thief called! ”

After breaking away from the Qing army, Qi Liang took advantage of the night to go south, and was captured in the early morning of the third day by a small detachment completely different from the Qing army.

This should be Wu Sangui's army, Qi Liang guessed, finally came back, and couldn't help but recklessly shout with joy: "I am Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi!" Take me to my father! ”

No one paid attention to him, but tied him up and drove him away, Qi Liang struggled and shouted: "I am Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi!" Take me to my father, take me to my father! No matter how much he screamed, no one paid attention to him, and for a moment he was quite discouraged and could not help but be indignant, but his heart was still more excited than indignant.

After being tied up for an hour and entering a military camp, Qi Liang did not see a trace of frustration but couldn't help but be excited, and he could be liberated immediately. He was escorted outside a large camp, and a sergeant who looked like a small flag entered the camp and reported: "General! A thief was captured outside, claiming to be Wu Yingxiong, the son of the generalissimo! After Wu Sangui's uprising, he proclaimed himself the generalissimo and proclaimed himself the king of Zhou.

A white-robed general in the case hall waved his hand impatiently and said, "Drag it down and slaughter it!" ”

Sergeant Xiaoqi said: "It's better for the general to interrogate, if it is really ......."

The white-robed general raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "My brother Shixiong has already passed away, how can he still come to His Royal Highness?" He also taught a hard lesson: "Are there still few people who pretend to be the generalissimo now?" Which one is true? In the future, if anyone dares to claim to be the son of the world, they will all be beheaded! Let's go down! ”

Sergeant Xiaoqi hesitated: "General! This man is very suspicious, and much of what he says is true, and may be true......"

The white-robed general slapped the desk and shouted, "Don't say anything more, you dare not carry out my military orders?" ”

The sergeant bowed: "Obey the order!" ”

Qi Liang was dragged to the outside of the camp, and he shouted loudly: "I am Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi!" Don't kill me, I'm Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi! ”
